I side with Gamora

okay but why is Rocket looking at Drax like that. at this point I'm not convinced there's a single heterosexual person on the team

The reason why I loved Guardians of the Galaxy: Bane of Blastaar so much lies on Rich’s subtle characterization.

It’s perfect. Yes, it’s kinda corny in an affectionate way, just like old comics. But despite being a one-shot, it gave enough room to explore his relationship with the Guardians. He hasn’t been around the team that long if we think about it. He's closer to Peter and Gamora and they had a full arc to work on their issues, but the rest? Not so much.

They don’t know how much of an impulsive buckethead he is, always willing to sacrifice himself for the team. However, Peter and Gamora do know him very well and are eager to defend him because of their background in the Annihilation era. Not only that, Rich wants to prove himself to Peter and the team, especially when he makes a mistake. That’s why Peter sent Groot to catch Rich. He’d know Rich would make it. He trusts Rich so much, and the same is valid to Gamora.

It’s just so sad we only have this moment post Al Ewing’s run because I’d love to see this bond bloom. Peter’s tenderness towards Rich is just SO precious, everything about their relationship is soft and sweet despite all the trauma. I want more of THAT, not whatever the fuck is going on with the current book.

#PREVIEW: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY BANE OF BLASTAAR #1 by #RalphMacchio #DavideTinto & more... from @Marvel #comics http://ow.ly/Vfm250NPVaj

[dailygotg]

Blah, blah, blah!

[hiveswap]

Cool!!! Don't be intimidated by the lenght, i get verbose but it's not a lot of info. I love him a lot because he's absolutely devastating to read about, I'm pretty sure I got gray hairs in the process. He's dense, self sacrificial, doesn't think he belongs anywhere, and unable to sit still for 10 seconds.

Do you like the Guardians of the Galaxy? Because Richard does... He's constantly on and off with Gamora and has been obviously in love with Starlord's gay ass too for the same amount of time. (In better runs they're not at all like the mcu versions if you're worried about that.)

His backstory is that he was randomly given the powers of a dying Nova (space UN solider) via lightning when he was 17 and it's been downhill for him ever since. The Nova Corps have been oneshotted like 4 times by now, they're not that big of a deal honestly. He's also got a little brother and their dad sucks and is half the reason he won't accept help from anyone.

Guide(s) below

The first Nova comic run was in 1973. In that Rich was a teenage superhero, He was also a member of the New Warriors for a couple decades which were basically marvel's first teen team. (Can't help a lot here, haven't read a lot of these)

I personally started reading at the Annihilation crossover event from 2006 because I wanted to get into the modern (ough long story) Guardians of The Galaxy team, whose plotline was first set up there. Rich is basically the protagonist of Annihilation, nearly dies a lot. (He should be 22 years old here i think? They mention how long he's had his powers)

He got his own series again in Nova 2007, which carried on alongside the cosmic side of marvel. you have to read other comics too to fully get wtf is going on sometimes, like gotg 2008, (my beloved!!) a tiny bit of xmen, ect. This carries on for three more arcs (annihilation:conquest, war of kings, realm of kingd) and then ends in 2010 with the Thanos Imperative event.

I fully trust the Comic book herald cosmic guide to tell that era of the story. It's cohesive.

The reading order gets weird here lmao

Things fall apart fully after that, the guide website gets more confusing and splits off into different articles...

-You don't have to read Guardians of the Galaxy 2013, it's irrelevant to Nova and smells like the MCU, but like two or three issues of it explain basically what happened following the fade to black in Thanos Imperative. That's pretty important, idk their number right now but they should be titled Original Sin.

-You could read Guardians 3000! An alternate future fem!Nova appears but she's not as important to the plot as I had hoped. :/ She's got sexual tension with alternate future Starlord who is actually a different guy than he claims imo. (It also requires a bit of knowledge of pre-2000 gotg but you should be fine if you've read the 2008 one too)

-Nova 2017 brings Richard back! You could read 2016 first for a bit of context but it's not neccassary, it's fully about Sam Alexander. (legacy hero to Rich, like Miles Morales to Peter Parker.)

-Then there's the Black Order miniseries where he gets mind controlled, not an important one but it does interesting things to his character and at this point i'm just happy to see him

-He reunites with Peter Quill in Guardians 2018, it's kinda cute. You could read Infinity Wars after but it's. Eh. Guardians 2019 is a bit better, he's there in that one too. His brother is there in both as well.

-Annihilation: Scourge. Not lot I can say about it. Kinda gross

-Guardians 2020 is sometimes called the first true sequel to the one from 2008. Rich actually join the team in that one and deals with his issues!! Actually sees a professional too!! Pround of him!! It's followed by the Bane of Blastaar oneshot. Those 3 nerds are so married.

-The Guardians got a bad series in 2023 again, so the author of Guardians 2020 carried him over to X-Men Red. You get some context for that in Guardians 2020 but I do recommend reading up on Krakoa and Arakko anyway. You could try following the X-men guide (not from the very beginning, start at 2019 the earliest if you want to do this) on the comic book herald website but it's very quantity over quality so i've read some truly awful runs doing that.

Red is important for Rich and it's the last one he's been in to date. It's good but i haven't finished it because the full xmen guide overwhelmed me.

On a final note, take it slow and drop things fhat are irrelevant, bad, or boring. Don't burn yourself out like i did on xmen

I used this website to read comics also

If you wanna know anything about how to read comics abt the guy im happy to tell you

yes please!! he will be my next hyperfixation after i'm done with my current hyperfixation (if all goes to plan regarding my personal time) so that would be great!

[dailygotg]

At least the threat's over... I-I didn't fail you, Peter

[dailygotg]

Group hug -- and a photo! Get back here, you losers!

[dailygotg]

I make no apologies, Gamora
